Lending Club Joins Senator Cory Booker to Discuss Improving Access to Capital for Small Businesses

How can more small businesses get access to capital?

That’s the challenge that Lending Club and other leaders in market lending and microfinance who joined U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) discussed at last week’s roundtableseriesat Rutgers University’s business school. Leaders of ten companies innovating small business financing, including Jeff Bogan, (SVP, Head of the Institutional Group), joined Senator Booker at the New Models to Improve Access to Capital Summit to discuss how technology combined with new lending platforms can help solve the challenges small businesses face when traditional banks can’t or won’t lend to them.

Panelists discussed how new lending platforms are transforming the small business credit landscape by improving the speed and efficiency of getting a loan, creating options with lower costs, and providing more transparency around loan terms and interest rates. They also shared guidance on what small business owners should consider when taking a loan, including what lenders are evaluating when they lend to small businesses, and how small businesses should evaluate interest rates and terms to find the most competitive option that best fits their business needs.
